It's hard to suggest something without knowing what you already do or what you like. But here are a couple thoughts for you:
* I'd guess that for the next ~5 years at least, the world will still need software engineers. AI may be good at coding, but it's still not great at software engineering or managing software delivery.
* Most non-technical people would still likely prefer that someone experienced packages a system for them. They don't have time, energy, or knowledge to babysit an agent. They may not even know what or how to ask.
* It's easier to write software than ever. This competes with coders (possibly putting jobs at risk), but complements those who create useful things. So focus on being the person who solves problems and not one who just builds code.
It is correct that AI can create stunning, impressive single-user small apps. Building multi-tenant, big data, and complex applications is still an engineering challenge!

Correction: cheap software has become cheap!
